Chapter 6: Under the Walls

The choice of this place was not accidental, but Xuan Shijing pondered, staying here, and when the scouts began to take turn, those scouts who went out of the city in the second half of the night, Xuan Shijing would be able to roughly know which direction they were gathering.

As for why it lurks at the West Gate, ten miles away from the West Gate, there is the camp of the Tang Dynasty's army, which naturally has the most scouts in this direction.

If you want to hide behind your back and knock on the stick, it is also a technical job.

When Xuan Shijing and the others came out, it was already early, and after hiding and waiting for a while, more and more scouts appeared in Xuan Shijing's line of sight and converged towards Liaodong City.

At this time, many scouts had gathered outside the gate of Liaodong City, but the gate of Liaodong City was not opened.

Seeing this situation, Xuan Shijing's attention became more concentrated, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the scouts outside the city and the gate of Liaodong City.

After a while, a gap opened in the city gate, and several Goguryeo soldiers came out, constantly shuttling among these scouts.

Because of the distance, what they were doing, Xuan Shijing really couldn't see clearly, but not long after, several sergeants from the city returned to the city, and then the gap in the city gate became larger, and the scouts outside the city began to rush in.

Not all of the scouts entered the city through the west gate, and the remaining small number of scouts scattered and entered Liaodong City through the other three gates.

It's been so long, and the defense of Liaodong City is still so strict, it seems that His Majesty is really pressing Liaodong.

After these scouts entered the city, not long after, another wave of scouts came out of the city, some on horseback, some on foot, all dressed in cloth, if it weren't for the current situation, those who made cloth clothes and walked out of the city, really can't see, this is the scout of Liaodong City.

It's just that going out of the city under Xuan Shijing's nose doomed some of them to tragedy.

Xuan Shijing, who is riding a horse, can't fight, is it possible that he can't clean up on foot?

And seeing their clothes, Xuan Shijing also had a bold idea, these scouts were spread like this, the people in Liaodong City knew it, and the guards on the city wall also knew it, so Xuan Shijing felt that he could use the skin of these people.

The place where the soldiers gathered was under the city wall of the West Gate, and in order not to make a sound, the soldiers all wore armor, only a long knife was hung on their waists, and the scabbard was smeared with black paint.

Thinking of this, Xuan Shijing hibernated for a while before quietly leaving.

The distance between the three hundred soldiers and the Liaodong City was only five miles, just at the junction of the Liaodong City scouts and the Tang Dynasty scouts, and the Goguryeo scouts did not dare to set foot on it easily within a radius of five miles from Liaodong City.

Therefore, the range of activities of these scouts out of the city is the distance of five miles outside the west gate, and if the enemy is found at this distance, the scouts on horseback are enough to return to the city to report the news, and Liaodong City can also respond in time.

It's just that in the early hours of this morning, these scouts are afraid that they will never be able to go back.

Xuan Shijing clearly remembered the direction in which the scouts in cloth clothes had left, and then quietly touched them.

If it weren't for the fact that Xuan Shijing often tossed along with him when he was training government soldiers in Dongshan County before, I'm afraid that Xuan Shijing would really have so much physical strength to deal with these things in a few nights.

After Xuan Shijing quietly twisted the neck of a scout, he looked up at the sky, it was still pitch black, and the choice of tonight's action was also the result of Xuan Shijing's "night observation of the sky" after it got dark, there was no bright moon, no stars, and the dark night gave everyone the best cover, if the moon with a silver plate hung in the sky, if you want to grope under the city, unless the Goguryeo soldiers on the city wall are blind.

The time was almost up, Xuan Shijing looked around, and the last corpse that passed through his own hands didn't need to be disposed of, because there should be no scouts to find him.

Xuan Shijing threw down the corpse and groped towards the city wall of Liaodong City again.

Tonight's action is a huge test for the government soldiers, three hundred people groped under the city wall, there can be no mistakes, no one can't, as long as they are found on the city wall, although they can't see the root of the city wall, but in order to be able to see more clearly, the people on the city wall must put rockets downward.

It is convenient for a person to move, without the interference of scouts, Xuan Shijing, who was dressed in cloth, easily lurked under the root of the city wall, Xuan Shijing stuck to the city wall tightly and looked at where he was.

The shape of the city wall of Liaodong City Xuan Shijing has carefully studied, if it is a city wall, all of them are flat, then Xuan Shijing will never dare to let three hundred people go to the root of the city wall to find death, even if the defenders above their heads can't find it, the distance is farther, it must be seen at a glance.

In fact, the city wall of Liaodong City, not every dozen steps will protrude about one step wide and three steps long, if you look at the plan of the city wall, you can see that this prominent part is placed on the drum and military horns, used to command the infantry and cavalry under the city when fighting, after all, whether it is cavalry or infantry charging into battle, want to rely on shouting to command, it is simply whimsical.

It was these protruding parts, along with these horn drums, that blocked the view of the soldiers on the city walls, and where these protrusions were not to be climbed, no sergeant would stand up.

For the soldiers, this became a good place to hide.

Xuan Shijing groped under the city gate, hid in the hole of the city gate, and waited quietly, this place is now the safest place for Xuan Shijing.

Not long after, Xuan Shijing's side ushered in the first person, that is, Chang Le.

"So early?" Xuan Shijing saw Chang Le coming: "How are the scouts outside?" What about Shi Hu and Xue Rengui? ā€

"Master Hou, the scouts have been resolved, Shi Hu and Xue Rengui are now with those government soldiers, we thought about it, we don't have to come in, we just need to find a way to send explosives in." Chang Le said.

"One person carries too much, but it is easy to be detected by the guards on the city wall." Xuan Shijing frowned.

After Xue Rengui cooperated with Shi Hu and Chang Le to complete the task of cleaning up the scouts, he would stay outside, and when the army arrived in Liaodong City, he would still need to show his skills.

Before thousands of troops, bending bows and arrows, how majestic.

"Don't worry, Master Hou, three hundred people were needed originally, but now only one hundred people are enough, before dawn, all of us can withdraw from here, which is much more insured than expected." Chang Le said.
